Located in the charming Piazza dei Cimatori, a few steps from Piazza della Signoria, Hosteria Ganino is an icon of Florentine cuisine, loved by tourists and Florentines since the 1970s. Recently, the merger with the historic Birreria Centrale has given life to a single reality under the same name, maintaining intact the soul and atmosphere that have made both places famous.
Since 2012, Alessandro and Massimiliano Galli have been leading the Hosteria, carrying on a tradition made of passion for authentic flavors and attention to the seasonality of the ingredients. Our menu is a tribute to Tuscan cuisine, with refined dishes that enhance niche products and raw materials selected from small local producers.
Our philosophy is also reflected in the food and wine events that we regularly organize. On these occasions, we offer fixed-price tasting menus, consisting of 5 or 6 courses, each paired with a wine selected from our cellar. It is an unmissable experience for those who want to discover the essence of Tuscan cuisine, accompanied by fine labels that enhance each dish.
Thanks to our central location and welcoming atmosphere, Hosteria Ganino is the ideal choice not only for romantic dinners or dinners with friends, but also for business lunches and dinners.
We invite you to experience a unique moment at Hosteria Ganino, where tradition and innovation meet in the heart of Florence. Reservations are recommended, especially to guarantee a place at one of our special events.
Hosteria Ganino: a point of reference for those looking for true Tuscan cuisine, with a touch of elegance and modernity.
